One of the largest neuroscience departments in France, the LNC is a mixed-research unit (UMR7291) that is managed by the CNRS and based at the St Charles campus at Aix-Marseille University. The goal of the department is to investigate the neural bases of cognitive processing by studying behavior and brain activity.
Aix-Marseille University (AMU) is the largest multidisciplinary French-speaking university with nearly 80,000 students, including 10,000 international students, and 1,100 degrees.
The ERC's mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all fields, based on scientific excellence.
